1/How to create impact on slow tourism in Brussels with the bikenode network
WED 25/11 17H30-18H30 https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87954316721
Speaker: Corentin Marechal, Vhello and Hainaut Tourism bike network (usage numbers, slow tourism)
Host: Tanguy (NL) and Bénédicte (FR), slow tourism expert
Followed by disussion on what a bikenode network can bring to revitalise the tourism actors (B&B, cafés, restaurants, cultural hotspots,...)
Background:
A bikenode network is a part of an open slow tourism platform, a number of nodes that every time a new node is added creates more value for the other nodes; it restructures the recreational bike flow as well, making bikers discover new routes with no hesitation, and sure that they will be back at the initial starting point of their bike loop in due time.
It is the perfect combination of discovery and sets the right expectation.
It therefore creates a stable undelrying 'road' infrastucture, and enables the specific touristic infrastructure to organise itself around this biker traffic : cafés and bars with specific bike infrastructure indicate their location according to the bikenode, bnbs offer biking tips around their bnb etc.
